YOUNG ADULTHOOD
She held a wide variety of jobs until she turned to stand-up comedy, making her bones at small
clubs and coffeehouses before working her way up to emcee Clyde's Comedy Club by 1981.
Beginning in the early 1980s, she toured nationally and was named the funniest person in
America after winning a competition sponsored by the cable network Showtime. This led to
better gigs, including her first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962)
in 1986.
MIDDLE ADULTHOOD

6. Though DeGeneres's early forays into series television were not successful (she appeared as a
supporting player in two short-lived TV situation comedies in the period 1989-92, Open House
(1989) and Laurie Hill (1992)), she scored a hit headlining her own 1994 sitcom on ABC "These
Friends of Mine" (later renamed Ellen (1994) after its first season). She made TV history in April
1997 when her character, and DeGeneres herself personally, revealed that she was a lesbian.
However, the show was canceled the following season due to declining ratings, after which
DeGeneres returned to the stand-up circuit. In 2001, DeGeneres launched a new series, The Ellen
Show (2001), on CBS, but it suffered from poor ratings and was canceled. Redemption as a
television artiste came in 2003, when DeGeneres's daytime talk show, Ellen: The Ellen
DeGeneres Show (2003) proved to be both a critical hit and a commercial success. Along with
good ratings, the show has won unprecedented kudos from the industry, winning 15 Emmy
Awards in its first three seasons on the air and becoming the first talk show in TV history to win
the Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show in its first three seasons. She hosted Grammy
Awards in 1996 and 1997, as well as the Primetime Emmy Awards in 2001 and 2005. She hosted
the Oscars in February of 2007. She is perhaps best known to young audiences as the voice of
the endearing but absentminded fish Dory in the blockbuster animated hit Finding Nemo
(2003), a role that perfectly captured her rambling, seemingly unrehearsed comic style. Portia de
Rossi, wife (Dec. 2004 to present). Ellen DeGeneres, Los Angeles, CA on October 4, 2011. •In
early 2008, was named "Most Favorite Daytime Talk Show Host," over Oprah Winfrey, in three
different polls: AOL poll, The Harris Group poll, and About Talk Shows poll.
